HOW TO PLAY
The dice-rolling drinking game that requires absolutely no skill.
LEARN BY PLAYING
Skip the wall of text — start a guided round and we'll walk you through every rule as it comes up.
OBJECTIVE
Score exactly 100 points over multiple turns. The first player to hit 100 triggers a rebuttal — every other player gets one last turn to tie at 100 (or improve their placement). If no one ties, the player who hit 100 wins.
EACH TURN
- Roll all 4 green dice up to 3 times.
- After each roll, you may keep one set of matching dice (a pair OR three of a kind), keep a single un-matched die, or pick up everything and reroll.
- You may not split a matched group.
- After your 3rd roll, your score is locked in.
- If at any point during your three rolls you match all four dice, your turn is over and you select the bonus or math result of the four-of-a-kind.
SCORING (FINAL ROLL)
- Pair: face × 2 · Three of a kind: face × 3
- Triple Snakes (three 1s) — choose 3 points OR tie the current leader's score. Everyone drinks. (Handy on a rebuttal to tie the player who just hit 100.)
- Double-Double (two pairs) = sum of both pairs
- No matches → 0 points
SNAKE EYES
Two 1s on any roll ends your turn at 0 points. Drink.
FOUR OF A KIND
Ends turn (everyone drinks). Choose the better of:
| Face | Bonus | Math |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 | 4 |
| 2 | 28 | 8 |
| 3 | 27 | 12 |
| 4 | 26 | 16 |
| 5 | 25 | 20 |
| 6 | 24 | 24 |
STRAIGHT RULE (1ST ROLL ONLY)
Roll a straight on your first roll? Use the black die (the 5th die) to try to complete it:
- 1-2-3-4 → need a 5 (2 tries)
- 3-4-5-6 → need a 2 (2 tries)
- 2-3-4-5 → need a 1 or 6 (1 try)
Success → choose 34 or 35 points (social drink — everyone drinks). Fail → 0. Rolling another 1 during a straight attempt = snake eyes.
WINNING & THE REBUTTAL
Hit exactly 100 to win. Going over = BUST → 77 points, drink. When someone hits 100, all other players get one final rebuttal turn to tie or improve placement. Last place takes a shot.
DRINKING RULES
- Net 0 points → drink
- Triple Snakes, 4-of-a-kind, or completed Straight → social (everyone drinks)
- Bust over 100 → drink
- Dice off the table → drink per die lost
- All players net 0 on consecutive turns in the same round → group shotguns a beer (or takes a shot)
- Last place at game end → takes a shot
- After round 3: end-of-turn ties = both drink; lead changes = non-leaders drink (leader may join)
